Who likes Sushi?

[Becky]

I am still pretty newly obsessed - but definitely obsessed. I crave it - um daily.

I began with some cooked salmon thing one night with clients.

Moved along to a Philly roll (cream cheese, salmon, avocado) - and am now to a dragon roll - crab with eel and avocado on top. :love:

It's quite expensive in this area as the fish has to be flown in daily. And aside from fish - i swear they must put crack in it - because i am sooo addicted.

I'm considering learning to make some basic rolls. Anyone tried that?

[wicked]

Not me, I don't even like cooked sea food.

I like tame sushi.

[purple]

I like sushi, but I mostly like the vegetarian rolls and the cooked ones. The texture of raw fish is icky to me. I've thought about trying to make it, but I have heard it takes a long time to master. There are kits though.

whatcha like? :D

I like tame sushi.

Like what? California roll?

[Lisa]

I like the cooked stuff. Raw squicks me out.

[Michele]

LOVE sushi. I'm pretty mild, though. Mostly, I like california rolls, dragon rolls, etc.

The only uncooked thing I have tried is Sashimi. It's good. You have to like the raw fish texture.

I think the wasabi is what I'm addicted to.




Oh. And I once tried to make a low carb california roll using diced egg whites to substitute rice. :indiff: Don't. even. go. there.

[Tiger]

I love all sushi and sashimi and ahem have made california rolls that actually resemble the real thing. (But you already knew that LOL)

[Lisa B]

Sushi & sashimi were my lunch today :eat:
I bought Tanner one of those kits... he figured it out in a beginner kind of way.

[Lisa]

Michele. :indiff: Egg?

[Tiger]

Oh to make a low carb roll you can roll shredded cucumber, carrot and sprouts instead of the rice. Just layer the sprouts first as they seem to hold best, then a bit of the cuke and carrot then avocado and crab or shrimp or pickles if you don't want fish. It needs a bit of mayo to keep it moist but they are good.

[Michele]

I hate to commercialize this, but I have tried california rolls from all over and Coscto has a damn good party size plattery for 14.99.

My girlfriend and I used to plan a night over that platter and a bottle of wine.

[Michele]

Michele. :indiff: Egg?

It was a recipe. What a mistake. :nono:

i'm so damn jealous. I'm totally ready to blow hickville. I pay a lot for what i get here so i try to plan carefully.

I've had the dragon roll, philly roll and rainbow roll in addition to california roll. I tried some individual sushi pieces (non-roll) with eel.

It's so fresh and much lighter than what i was eating - feels healthier at least :) I really like mixing the wasabi with soy - so gawd only knows how much water i'm retaining.

I like sake too :D :boobies:

[Alie]

I love sushi. I have made it at home. Its a lot of work. Not too hard, but just really time consuming.

My favorites are:
spicy tuna roll
eel
dragon roll
yellowtail sashimi
tuna sashimi

ooh neat you can make it yourself :D

What's the yellowtail like?

The dragon roll where you get it/make it - what's in it?

TIA :)

[Tiger]

Costco sushi is great and cheap.

I am lucky in that there are like dozens of cheap sushi places within a few miles of my house. I swear Vancouver is the sushi capitol of the world.

[Shimmerfly]

I used to make sushi a lot before I started low carbing.

I started out with sushi kits from the supermarket that included everything except the filling. ie. rice, nori, rice vinegar, and mat. I didn't think they were too hard to make. Now I just buy it all separately when I make it because I have a few of the rolling mats.

I only like cooked stuff, and nothing too icky. Eel = Icky to me.

I like roast beef, chicken, tofu, mushroom & omlette sushi best. No seafood for moi.

Hmmmm. I wonder if I could mail a kit overseas ...

If you'd like me to try I'll definately give it a go. They really aren't that expensive and are quite light.

[KarenMA]

I LOVE sushi but it is so expensive around here, I don't get it that often. I'm with Alie and like the spicy tuna, salmon/avocado, fatty tuna, eel, tobiko, yellowtail.

Have you tried seaweed salad yet? I really like that as well.

I have also made sushi and maki's at home. Not too hard to do.

Kyle has ALWAYS loved salmon sashimi. I mean like from the time he was 6 or so. People really get freaked out by that for some reason.

[taragunner]

I love sushi and shashimi. :eat:

Yellowtail is a really mild, firm white fish. That is the only kind of sashimi I can do. DJ loves toro, which is tuna belly. It is pure fat...very rich. I can't do it. I don't like salmon sashimi either for the same reason.

The dragon roll I like has tempura shrimp and avacado. :homerdrool:

[Phoebe]

LOVE it

[Karen]

I really like sushi and shashimi too. I usually pick it up at Whole Foods market on my way home from work on Friday nights. I've been thinking about getting a kit and trying it myself.

[Alie]

If anyone wants to make it I have a great fool proof recipe for the rice I can post. That is the most important part.

[emmajoan]

I lurve sushi. Since I'm theoretically LC'ing (although not today :( ) I go to sushi restaurants and order edamame, agadashe tofu and then a platter of the day's sashimi. It's not cheap, but I love, love, love it! I love all the rolls too, but actually like the raw stuff

[taragunner]

DAMN it!! Guess who's gonna have to pick up sushi on her way home. :homerdrool:

[Moke]

California rolls is as brave as I go.

ooh i want to try the yellowtail. I think I'm allergic to shellfish - one weekend when i don't have an insane week following (i have 5 clients in town next week :cry: ) I'm going to test it with Benadryl and an Epipen on hand.

LOVE it

I knew I liked you :D

Wicked jealous you have a whole paycheck dammit. There is no sushi at any store here - all they have is gravy and stuff to bread whatever you're going to fry. :getyou:

nothing wrong with a California roll :D I'll take 2 kthxbai

[Heather]

Sign me up for the PW sushi/sashimi meetup! :yum:

The only thing I don't eat are any rolls with cream cheese. :sick: And, I ate too many salmon skin rolls once, so now I never get them anymore.

Who's willing to give me sake lessons? I've never had it, but always wanted to try it.

[Kellee]

I'm now craving sushi. A quick google search revealed 12 sushi restaurants within 1/4 mile. Ummmm, maybe we're the sushi capital? ;)

I'm incredibly jealous!

Yesterday I tried a spider roll here. Lump crab meat, some kind of radish and avocado. :love:

Nope sorry I have 32 within a few kilometers of my house :boobies:

I think we need a sushi task force to tour the continent and check out the fare.

[Lisa]

I just bought Philly Rolls at the store. :eat:
